Decision Support

Decisions & Proof of Capability

I help leaders stay focused on what matters most, while I handle the research, comparison, and proof of capability for technical solutions. This ensures the evaluation is done professionally and at a high standard, and results in a clear decision the team can move forward with confidently.

When this makes sense

  • You need a clear recommendation, but there are competing constraints (time, cost, reliability)
  • Multiple stakeholders need alignment (engineering, product, security, operations)
  • A decision is blocking delivery or causing repeated debate
  • You want to de-risk and document a choice before committing (RFC/ADR)

What you get

  • A structured decision brief: options, assumptions, constraints, risks, and trade-offs
  • A recommendation with explicit reasoning and a practical next-step plan
  • Shareable notes the team can use (RFC/ADR) and a short list of follow-up tasks

Example decisions

  • Build vs buy for authentication, payments, search, or analytics
  • Defining boundaries (monolith vs services) and integration patterns
  • Database choices or migration plans (Postgres, NoSQL, caching)
  • Cloud direction (AWS/Azure/Cloudflare) and deployment model
  • Observability stack and alerting policy
  • Testing strategy: unit/integration/e2e balance and CI feedback loops
